Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
After a faulty client is replaced by a new client, the new client needs to obtain the latest configuration file of the faulty client to minimize impact on service. Therefore, all clients should periodically back up their configuration files to the file server.
This function must be configured before any fault occurs. It is recommended that you configure this function when deploying the network.
Prerequisites
The file server information has been configured on the Commander using the tftp-server/sftp-server/ftp-server command.
Precautions
- After this function is configured, all clients managed by the Commander will automatically back up configuration files.
- To disable this function, run the undo backup configuration [ interval [ interval ] ] or undo backup configuration interval duplicate command, or set the file backup interval to 0.
- If you do not want to keep the original configuration files, run the undo backup configuration duplicate command to make the backup files overwrite the original files.
The naming convention of the configuration files is as follows:
If the backup files are saved as new files, name the new files in format vrpcfg-MAC address-year-month-day-hour-minute-second.XXX. XXX is the file name extension, which must be the same as the configuration file name extension being used on the client. For example, if the startup configuration file on a client is vrpcfg.zip, the backup file is named in format vrpcfg-MAC address-year-month-day-hour-minute-second.zip.
If the backup files overwrite the original files, name the backup files in format vrpcfg-MAC address.XXX. XXX is the file name extension, which must be the same as the configuration file name extension being used on the client.
Example
# Set the file backup interval to 12 hours and overwrite the original files with backup files.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] easy-operation [HUAWEI-easyoperation] backup configuration interval 12
# Disable automatic configuration file backup.
<HUAWEI> system-view [HUAWEI] easy-operation [HUAWEI-easyoperation] backup configuration interval 0 Warning: This command will cancel the function of backing up configuration. Cont inue?[Y/N]:y [HUAWEI-easyoperation]
